Dr John - Tribal Lyrics

You are not my enemy, can't you see
In your fancy rags
If you were my enemy, you and me
Would not want to be
In this tribal dance

Seedy bits of harmony cross the sea
As we taste the wine
We are one big family, can't you see
That is why we join
The new tribal dance

But how soon is now
How soon will we taste the potion
Of locomotion
For the new tribal dance

Yet our blissful harmony will not be
Here for evermore
They'll rip up our family by the sea
There will be no room for our tribal dance

As we gaze across the sea, we can see
That our land is lost
There's no room for you and me, who are free
And they'll put an end to the tribal dance

But how soon is now
How soon will we taste the potion
Of locomotion
For the new tribal dance

You are not my enemy, can't you see
In your fancy rags
If you were my enemy, you and me
Would not want to be in this tribal dance
The new tribal dance
The new tribal dance
